Seasons
Poem
The day is grim,
misshapen clouds grin,
silhouettes of trees
reaching out for me.
Nothing stops the pain,
I cannot feel the rain…
It is winter,
the wind is not a friend,
that’s okay, I never had a friend,
the rain was just an illusion,
now it’s white and cold,
the sky was a latter
to the other, godly world,
now it’s gone, thousand miles away.
The trees were loving arms,
the grass was bed of silk,
now all I see are aching hands…
Oh, Time, please wash away the seasons,
or take my heart, burn it, tear it to pieces!
